This year, sera has developed four new types of multilayer diaphragm pumps and four new types of piston diaphragm pumps featuring the multilayer diaphragm technology. These include two types for the local, manual control (R-series) as well as two types with integrated control electronics (C-series).

By offering the new piston diaphragm pumps, sera has responded to customer requests for performances between 7.5 l/h and 900 l/h at an operating pressure of up to 80 bar. For operating pressures in the area of 20 bar, sera is offering the new multilayer diaphragm pumps for capacities of 10 l/h to 1,200 l/h.

The new pumps are ideal for high precision dosing of aggressive or toxic chemicals in an environmentally friendly way. The range of application of the piston diaphragm pumps includes the chemical, petrochemical, pharmaceutical industry and the food and drink industry, e.g. the dosing of additives as well as the disinfection of drinking and process water in systems with pressures greater than 10 bar. In power plant engineering, the piston diaphragm pumps are used for the dosing process during the boiler feed water treatment.

The two new pump types impress the user with their multi-layer diaphragms made of PTFE with an integrated diaphragm rupture indication. In addition, they are ideally suited for the pumping and dosing of nearly all liquids of low and medium viscosity as well as conductive and non-conductive liquids. The multilayer diaphragm ensures the separation of the drive from the parts in contact with the fluid. The new multilayer diaphragms are designed to prevent any contact between the pump hydraulic and the medium even in the case of a breakdown, thus preventing both corrosion within the pump and contamination of the fluid or the environment. This reduces the life cycle costs (LCC) and increases process reliability.

The mechanical equipment of the piston diaphragm pumps has another distinctive feature - an adjustable, integrated hydraulicoverflow valve which protects the pump from excess pressure.

When equipped accordingly, the R-series can even be used in ATEX-Zone 1.

The C-series includes the proven control electronics from sera. This is a new approach for dosing pumps that are used in medium pressure applications. The control electronics allow, amongst other things; the monitoring of container filling levels, the monitoring of the status of the diaphragm, the flow control or flow measurement as well as the alteration of the stroke speed to the viscosity of the pumped medium. It is also suited for control with conventional analogue and digital signals. It is cost-efficient and can be easily used for automated processes thanks to the plug & dose principle and can thus be integrated into nearly all existing systems of the operating company.

Optionally, the control electronics features a profibus-DP-interface which is suited for communication with the latest generation of bus systems.

Making drinking water safe is a priority in China. The government focusing on cleaning water sources and recycling water.
In 2012, China mandated that tap water in all cities should meet a standard based on 106 indices called for by the World Health Organization. As well as investing in water treatment, distribution and quality monitoring, the government has added drinking-water safety to its list of 13 major technology projects. (Source : nature.com)

Safety always comes first at Global Diving & Salvage, Inc. It’s our priority to ensure safe work environments by emphasizing collaboration among our staff and clients. But our focus on safety doesn’t stop when we’re off the clock, it’s also a value we want employees to carry home and in the community.
Take Global divers Carl Bryant and Tyler Wiesen for example. The two were attending a friend’s birthday party the night of Saturday, July 8, 2017, at a neighborhood clubhouse next...

Edinburgh Sensors was founded in 1988 and from then we have committed ourselves to developing gas sensing technology and equipment to the highest levels for all our customers. Since the 1940s Non-dispersive Infrared (NDIR) sensing has become an important, safe, reliable and accurate method for the detection of gases such as CO, CO2, CH4 and various refrigerants. In essence, one version of this equipment, consists of an infrared lamp, a sample chamber or light tube, a light filter and an infrared detector. The IR...

On October 5, 2016, The World Bank hosted an informative event, “Water Quality Testing: Everything You Always Wanted to Know for Managing Water Safety.” The principal speaker was Dr. Mark Sobsey, an internationally renowned expert on water quality who also developed the Compartment Bag Test (CBT).
The World Bank has graciously shared a video recording of the event as well as PDF copies of speaker presentations.
